The Coin Telegraph has already reported on the occasion of Bitcoin receiving its
personal and particular smell in form of BitCologne. Today, we are glad to present the fact that the most
famous and favorable cryptographic coin is able to inspire creation of fine
art, literature and other forms of masterpieces.

The Inspiring Nature of
Bitcoin

On
the technological level Bitcoin succeeded to pioneer the massive movement of
creation of new alternative currencies. The introduction of Counterparty allowed adding numerous coin names to already
existing hundreds of assets.

Bitcoin
has also entered the internet folklore – starting with memes and visualized
jokes, till possibly never ending flood of creativity, the currency might be
met several times per day browsing the web. The celebrities, actually the source of art and artistry, have also
been often inspired by Bitcoin or have given at least some encouraging
comments.

Sometime
ago it was even planned to adopt the story of Silk Road and Ross Ulbricht on the movie screen, creating a biopic destined for
box office success.

Shakespeare, Byron, Po, …
Einhorn

Jessica
Einhorn has made a huge step forward adding Bitcoin to traditional figures of
poetry, which are, for example, love, death, faith and strength. Currently Mrs.
Einhorn is the senior advisor at The Rock Creek Group in Washington, USA.
Before, she was a dean at the Johns Hopkins University, and even worked as the
managing director at the World Bank. Now she adds to her list of milestones and
achievements a poem about Bitcoin.

The
Coin Telegraph took the liberty of publishing the full text of the poem without
any alternations, but with credits of the author Jessica Einhorn:

A bit of coin
becomes a mirror cracked

By love of fame
or greed or complex math

It is a puzzle
why some care so much

For crypto cash
not euro, yen, or pounds

They say that
money talks or maybe whispers

I stand outside
that chatting class of hipsters

Who knew a piggy
bank imprisoned more

Than just my
hopes for burgers and some slaw

I learn that it
is fiat that I hold

A central bank
in charge of all I buy

The legal tender
issued by a state

How déclassé and
even reprobate

Alternatives
appear in digital

A universe of
block chains built upon

An algorithm so
complex to solve

You need a
private key and public too

A miner will
create your currency

A wallet now
allows a shopping spree

These coins are
not so easily exchanged

As carefree
shows a different face which scowls

And Mt.Gox loses
virtue and reward

Eight hundred
thousand coins and more are gone

So bankruptcy
without a bank we learn

Brings tears but
no insurance in return

Each day the
mounting mystery accretes

When Mister
Nakamoto wants his lunch

A high-speed
chase in movieland L.A.

Brings drama or
perhaps its comedy

A pseudonym’s
disguise to be resolved

Satoshi’s fate
may Dorian absolve

Next reparations
are proposed online

Munificence
crowd sourced for damage done

Betrayal
trounced with generosity

A white flag
waves for anonymity

Or is it just
publicity for free?

The scent of
scam now overpowers me

The mirror‘s
crack reflects my countenance

A smile across
my face as I discern

Those bits of
coins are not the prize at all

The payments
system is the lasting gift

Ignored because
we need some time to sift

The chaff of
coins from platforms that will lift

Who said
necessity is mother’s womb

Invention it
turns out is born of whim
